Looking to see Rupaul's greatest trainwreck in herstory, Stop! That! Train! at The Coolidge?

Stop! That! Train! follows best friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatens to derail the high-speed train and crash it into Los Angeles, the duo in coach must join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia) and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy.

The film opens tomorrow, June 12th.

For $3 off of your ticket, use code STT!626 at checkout: https://coolidge.org/films/stop-train See you there, henny...

We're proud to co-present an early screening of Hayley Kiyoko's GIRLS LIKE GIRLS (yes, based off of the iconic song)

This story follows Coley, 17, from rural Oregon, who is trying to navigate intimacy after her mother's passing. Meeting Sonya sparks new feelings, but self-doubt hinders their connection. Sonya, unfamiliar with dating girls, is uncertain. They learn to embrace emotions.
